Let's put mommy guilt in its place.
We eat a lot of pasta at our house, and I’ve opened a lot of jars of Prego—more than I’d like to admit. I’m not throwing shade on canned sauces; they’re definitely quick and easy in a pinch and some of them are pretty tasty. But lately I’ve been rediscovering how easy it is to [...]
Are any of our readers accountants, or married to accountants? If so, then you can appreciate what the last month has been like at my house. Busy season was a b*&# this year, as my husband worked to help his old employer meet the April 15 tax deadline before going directly into a new job. [...]
My mom used to make the most delicious breaded pork chops. They were tender and creamy–the ultimate comfort food. But I haven’t been able to replicate them, since Mom never used a recipe. Breaded pork chops are something she just instinctively knows how to make but can barely describe. Well, this weekend I found a [...]

Today is a Mom Karma kind of day. This a.m. I took my friend’s two sons to school, and will every Tuesday and Friday for the rest of the school year since she has to take an early-morning class. This afternoon I have late work meetings, so my friend down the street, who gets off [...]
How much time do you have to cook this evening? If the answer is, “not much,” then you might be tempted to grab carry-out for your family. I like the drive-through as much as the next working parent, but sometimes my budget is tight. And often I feel like I could make the same meals, [...]
So, instead of doing Tasty Tuesday, I was going to rant about how my children were out of school for the second Monday in a row, due to their school district’s ridiculous spring schedule. I was all set to be, like —> But then, I realized that our neighborhood Girl Scouts [...]
This week’s Tasty Tuesday is just for our Cincinnati/Dayton-area readers. I’m going to tell you how you can get free donuts — and not just free, but lower-fat, lower-calorie donuts that taste just like Busken Bakery’s regular donuts. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Busken is introducing the Lite-Hearted Donut. It’s a heart-shaped glazed donut [...]
After a week in Boston for work, I’m getting back into a normal routine. That means coming up with something to feed my family at a time when we don’t have a lot of groceries. Luckily, I almost always have what I need to make chicken parmesan. I love this dish because it looks impressive [...]
I love Hungry Girl (if you don’t know who this is, OMG! Go check her out!). I love Chicken Wings. And I love Tyson Grilled and Ready Chicken (seriously! I love using these for quick salads or easy wraps!). So why wouldn’t I love a chance to share with everyone this fabulous recipe just in time [...]
I can’t believe how easy this recipe is. I made it Sunday evening, and the adults in the house were impressed by how much it tasted like restaurant shrimp scampi. The kids weren’t as thrilled because, it turns out, they’re not big fans of shrimp that isn’t fried beyond recognition. My oldest, after taking a [...]
